Panic

Hey ladies!

So it's been a while!

I thought I had been doing well after the MEC race (despite coming last I beat the time I had set for myself, so I'll take it as a win), but this week has been absolutely brutal for me. I've been getting up at 5:30 and working 9.5 hour days and I seriously have no energy by the end of the day. I would try getting up early to run but that would mean I would have to get up at like 3 and yeah... definitely not gonna happen.

So last week I had accomplished my goals and stuck to my schedule. Had two gym days, ran 7km and had a 5km run outside Saturday morning. This week everything is off, partially to my work schedule and the holiday Monday where I totally lazied it up.

This is where my "panic" is coming from right now, I thought my 15km race in September was near the end of the month, but actually it turns out that it's the 8th, and I'm also running it by myself. I'm worried that I'm not going to be back into the swing of things and increase my endurance enough for the extra 5 km.

AHH.

my schedule:

I've been rearranging it as I go to actually mark what I did... I know that kind of defeats the point of a schedule but oh well.

7 Day Report Card - Week 2

Hey Team!

Hope you guys are doing well and achieving your weekly goals. I had a pretty good week. Morning workouts are going really well for me. I even managed to keep it up at the cottage. WOO.

How are you guys doing??? I wanna know!!

Ladyz, I've been lazy

I felt pretty motivated after the MEC 10KM. You'd think that would have inspired me to train harder and more religiously than ever. Instead I became lazy lazy lazy and could not hit the pavement.

Bought new and proper running shoes: 

(They are the green ones, i was trying to get Sylvester to pose with new shoes but he was more interested in my cross trainers).

Shoes helped me get back at it but In an uninspiring way. 

Today, ladies, I share my new outdoors cross training regimen. My trainer suggested to do the workout solo but I tacked on a light warm-up run. Seriously this workout means business and sets your thighs on fire. 

("Crush" = crunch, rowing requires a heavy item - strengthens back and triceps if that helps illustrate move, "planchette"=plank but with arms extended in push-up position) 

Pros, can do workout at home or just run outside, don't have to go to gym

Cons, having to roll around in dew-sodden grass.

Not quite sure when I will get my next log distance run in. I'm working a double tomorrow and am going on a spontaneously wilderness filled adventure Sunday-Monday. 

Happy long weekend!!

Missed real day five because the night before we we're moving old furniture to the salvation army... manual labour is tough and exhausting. Butttt I'm back at it today. Off to body combat! Jogging there and back to boot!

Staying with it!

Day 4 - very sweaty post 4km jog. Woo!
